David Hardy is a multidisciplinary artist based in West Wales, creating artworks from the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains.

He studied Fine Art at Winchester School of Art and after graduating moved to London where his work spanned graphic design, photography and painting. After working at The Royal Society of Arts and London College of Fashion as resident graphic designer David moved to Hastings to focus on his photography and painting.

Now working and living & working from a converted barn in Wales, David takes inspiration from his surroundings. Often referencing the landscape, found forms and photography as starting points. By using a reduced palette he creates work that focuses on depth, tone & texture without the distraction of colour.

“I want my paintings to show simplicity and struggle at the same time, as there are no logical meanings or definition behind the paintings.”

This latest collection of works consists of a 15 piece series through the mediums of acrylic and charcoal on cotton canvas. Each work is hand framed by David with 2.5cm oak stained pine baton.

The series explores the beauty and wonder of the Welsh landscape. Be it misty, bleak moorlands, tree lined hill tops and shapes and forms on the horizon.

Beauty can be found in the drama of this natural landscape. The work aims to convey an emotional, impulsive response to the magnitude of space and its incomprehensible meaning. By using a restrained colour palette, relying on slight differences in tone, washes layered over shapes hardly visible to the eye create depth and layers in the work.
